A drillstring is composed of 9,000 ft of 5-in. 19.5-lbm/ft drillpipe and 1,000 ft of drill collars having a 3.0-in. ID. Compute these items: a. Capacity of the drillpipe in barrels. Answer: 159.8 bbl. b. Capacity of the drill collars in barrels. Answer: 8.7 bbl. c. Number of pump cycles required to pump surface mud to the bit. The pump is a duplex double- acting pump with 6-in. liners, 2.5-in. rods, 16-in. strokes, and operates at a volumetric efficiency of 85%. Answer: 1,164 cycles. d. Displacement of the drillpipe in bbl/ft. An- swer: 0.0065 bbl/ft (neglects tool joints). e. Displacement of the drill collars in bbl/ft. The OD of the collars is 8.0 in. Answer: 0.0534 bbl/ft. f. Loss in fluid level in the well if 10 stands (thribbles) of drillpipe are pulled without filling the hole. The ID of the casing in the hole is 10.05 in. Answer: 64 ft. g. Loss in fluid level in the well if one stand of drill collars is pulled without filling the hole. Answer: 108 ft. h. Change in fluid level in the pit if the pit is 8 ft wide and 20 ft long, assuming that the hole is filled after pulling 10 stands of drillpipe. Answer: 2.5 in. i. Change in fluid level in a 3- x 3-ft trip tank assuming that the hole is filled from the trip tank after nulling 10 stands of drillpipe. Answer: 3.6 ft.
